And she's also completely right, when I get frustrated with Baby, it's usually over something I have no control over and should just roll with!</p> <p>Looks like the longer awake time could be here to stay, LO has now been napping for two hours!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/morning-naps-long-wake-time#post-664177 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 17:34:30 +0000 cheesetomywhine 664177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kemma: Great insight from your mum! My lo is 9 months and is up 1 hour and 45 minutes before her first nap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/morning-naps-long-wake-time#post-664167 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 17:29:03 +0000 stlginkgo 664167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kemma: that is a great insight by your mom. One that I need to remind myself of! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/morning-naps-long-wake-time#post-664100 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 16:32:15 +0000 Kemma 664100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: I'm thinking that's what it is, especially when I know that she can self soothe and put herself to sleep if we hit the right timeframe. </p> <p>As my Mother told me I'm never going to win a battle against a baby so it might be time to adjust our routine to account for the longer wake time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/morning-naps-long-wake-time#post-664097 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 16:23:01 +0000 loveisstrange 664097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kemma: She's till on 3 naps? Yeah, then it's totally possibly she's trying to go to 2 naps. C is still on 2 naps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/morning-naps-long-wake-time#post-664095 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 16:21:51 +0000 Weagle 664095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 10 months, and her morning awake time depends on how long she slept the night before. If she slept 11 hours, she goes down after 2.5-3 hours. If she slept 12+ hours she only takes one nap and goes down after 3.5-4 hours. At 6 months she was going down 1.5-2 hours after waking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/morning-naps-long-wake-time#post-664094 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 16:20:50 +0000 Kemma 664094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: thanks, this is a relatively new thing for us, we had been working on a 1.5-2 hour wake time for the last couple of months which worked out to be three naps a day so I'm wondering if A might be transitioning down to two nap maybe? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/morning-naps-long-wake-time#post-664091 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 16:15:28 +0000 loveisstrange 664091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C is almost 1 and it's normally 2-2.5 hours. It was 1.5-2 hours for a LONG time though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/morning-naps-long-wake-time#post-664089 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 16:14:19 +0000 Kemma 664089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How old is your LO and how long are they awake between morning wake up and their first nap?</p> <p>Miss A is almost six months old and used to go back to bed about 1.5 hours after her morning wake up but lately won't go back down for a nap until she's been up for over 2.5 hours! Does this sound normal or should I keep trying to put her down after 1.5 hours? </p>
